notes:
|
Olivier van Noort was the first Dutchman to circumnavigate the world. He landed at Rio de Janeiro in 1599, but was driven off by native Americans. This image derived from Olivier van Noort, Beschrijvinge vande voyagie om den geheelen werelt-kloot ..., Amsterdam, 1618. Theodor de Bry and his sons issued a series of books on voyages to America in fifteen parts between 1590 and 1634. In 1631, Gottfried (a printer who had worked on the de Bry volumes) issued this one-volume condensation of all the voyages. He reused many of the plates from the original volumes, but supplemented them with new ones. Theodor de Bry. America. Part 13.
